Business big shot: Arianna Huffington, online entrepreneur
http://business.timesonline.co.uk ^ | November 21, 2008 | Ian King

Ian King Arianna Huffington looks set to cement her position as the Queen of Capitol Hill in the next few days.

The Times has learnt that the Huffington Post, her influential political website, will confirm within the next week that it has completed a $15 million (£10 million) fundraising from investors.

The money will finance the expansion of HuffPo, as it is known, into the provision of local news across the United States and into more investigative journalism. And it will ensure that Ms Huffington's influence continues to spread across the US political scene.

She is a close friend of Barack Obama, the President-elect - who, with Hillary Clinton, has posted on her site - and, at a dinner in London on Wednesday night, joked: “I only text three people - my two teenage children and Barack Obama.”

So much for getting any "investigative journalism" out of the new Puffington Post. Oh, wait, when leftists blather about "investigative journalism" they never mean taking on the corruption of the Demagogues anyway.....

Arianna is a gold-digger. She turned her former husband gay.

She probably gets over a quarter of a billion page views per month. If her advertising allows her to monetize that traffic at even $1 per thousand views, that’s a quarter of a million dollars a month.

I’d love to know who the “investors” are, besides Obama and Soros.

Somebody that talks to Rush on a regular basis, tell him NOW is the time to take EIB to the next level, especially with this now just happening. Plus Rush has a whole lot more money than she does.

Arianna's running dog lackeys react to ANY penetration of their website by someone not of their socio-economic-sexual orientation with "We just wish to be left alone ~ why do you people keep bothering her".

Sounds like the running dog lackeys forgot to check with the business office again.

Completely unfair. Arianna didn’t turn her husband gay. He did it so he could get away from her.

Must be her personality.

Unfortunately for him she absconded with a couple hundred million of his family fortune in the process.

Saudis or other Muslims. I lurked around there during the primaries. She had banner ads for Muslims who were victims of “discrimination” in America. It was either CAIR or Muslim Brotherhood - fronts for the Saudis. She was in the tank for the Muslim from Kenya from day one and against Hillary.
